**July 2025: Late Morning Visit**…read more Spotted Cow! The city of New Glarus is basically a Spotted Cow destination! Wherever you go most restaurants will serve this beer, which is very malty. This beer is only available in Wisconsin but if you want the seasonal stuff visiting the New Glarus Gift shop will give you the most options Tuesday-Saturday: 10am-5pm I think the tasting option is $8 for 3 pours. It's a good way to try out all the different options before deciding on which bottles (or cans) you want to buy. The Stone Soup (Seasonal) was my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the original Spotted Cow. I think the majority of the seasonal beers were in bottles. I think they come in packs of either 4 or 6. The prices here are pretty comparable to if you buy them from a Wisconsin Target, but the big box stores have less variety. Since I was doing a big cross country roadtrip my weight allowance could not' accommodate everything I wanted *cries* and they don't ship their booze *cries* Next time I come back I'll make sure to make bring an empty suitcase! If you're visiting New Glarus your trip won't be complete without a visit to the factory (gift shop)!

An Unexpected Hidden Gem! What an unexpected surprise! I was…read morejust driving through the area with no intention of stopping at a brewery when I stumbled across this place. I've been to a lot of craft breweries, and I have to say this is now one of my all-time favorites. The concept is simple but awesome this isn't your typical bar. There's no indoor seating, but there's plenty of outdoor space on the other side of the parking lot. You come inside, pay $8 for a beer, and get to keep the glass. Or you can sample three beers for $8, keep the glass, and get a coin for a free beer in town. They also sell beer to go and other fun merch with their logo. The staff was super nice and friendly, and the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I tried the Oktoberfest, the Pilsner, and the totally naked. All were fantastic! If you're anywhere near the area, definitely stop by you won't regret it.

He thought a half of a sandwich sounded good and the prices were very reasonable. He ordered a few different types of meat in his. The sandwiches are a good size and come with chips and a pickle. I love the vibe of the place. Original murals and bar. High ceilings. You can almost imagine yourself there 100 years earlier. They had a fun story about looking at the ceiling and the dollar bills up there. The waitresses were so kind and helped my son try to toss his dollar bill up there. He was easily entertained for about 15 minutes. I'd come back!

Luckily for us, our bartender was nice enough to give us a heads up and suggested a few other places for a hot meal. It was the day 12/26. Cold and overcast. After finishing two local beers (including a Spotted Cow), we ventured back out into the cold. This tavern was established in the 1800's. So, expect that kind of vibe.

Been to NG several times and never really thought about stopping but tonight we did. And let me…read moretell you, wonderful! Being from the Chicagoland area, we think we have good pizza. Well Wisconsin strikes again. Sugar River had so many choices in pizzas. We opted for the Rigto-be-kidding me pizza, then and crispy. We weren't even half done with our salads and the pizza was ready. Plenty of cheese, meat and sauce. Very very good. Even the side salads. They had all kinds of veggies chopped up and very fresh. Might I suggest a combination of the ginger dressing with blue cheese. Hands down, great place. Clean, quick and pleasant. If you need to take a break from all the Swiss food this town has to offer, try a pizza. You'll be more than happy!

I talked to a couple of ladies at the bar who said I had to come back to eat there for dinner and that's exactly what I did! My husband and I had dinner at 5PM at the bar. I ordered the Stube Salad and he had the Wiener Schnitzel with red cabbage and warm German potato salad. The salad was a very generous portion and the dressing was sweet and delicious. The Wiener Schnitzel was delicious!!! I ate half of my husband's dinner and I loved the cabbage and potato salad. Everything was great! Service was also friendly. I'm looking forward to going back! Also to note: we left a jacket behind and had to leave early in the morning the next day before the restaurant opened. We live about 2 hours away and I called the restaurant and they have the jacket. We asked if we could send a Fed-Ex package with a return and have them mail it back to us, the owner agreed. We are really grateful for the kind service!
